About the Piece Originally written by German violinist and composer Eduard Mollenhauer (1827–1914), this concert transcription has always been a favourite showstopper in the intermediate repertoire. Mollenhauer, who toured extensively in America, specialised in captivating violin music that was technically challenging yet always musically rewarding. The piece is a charming and dramatic 'fantasy' on themes that evoke the spirit of the great Niccolò Paganini - full of flair, rapid passages, and a touch of the theatrical.
